The Floor Mat of Doom!

What's that in the road up ahead?

It appears to be a floor mat, but why would someone leave a floor mat...

Oh no, it's the FLOOR MAT OF DOOM! I tell you, DOOM!

If the lack of posts is not enough evidence, the floor mat of doom post should show that I'm having a busy week that's leaving me tired, drained even. But bike riding is my refuge, so I've kept at it, putting in the miles, and using that time as a brief but vital recharge time. I'm wondering, why would you leave your floor mat in the middle of the street? Did an unruly passenger toss it out the window and you simply didn't notice? And for that matter, why in the world would you want skulls, embellished skulls at that, decorating the floor of your SUV? (go, do an image search right now for "skull floor mat", and gain insight into our world). Look, I'm keeping your muddy feet off my carpet with THE SKULL OF DOOM! (?)

Ah, that's better

A decorated swirly sky and a quiet street to put things right. Still feel pretty wiped out, and lots more to do ahead. But at least I've put the FMD behind me...or have I???

1. driver's small child ralphed on it.2. cat pooped on it while being transported to vet.3. man was going to see his new born-again xstian gf and realized he was unlikely to get laid if she saw that skull thing on the passenger side.

Let's Just Ride

I commute by bicycle in Phoenix, Arizona, a metropolis suited to riding bicycles of all types, with weather, mountains, roads, canals, and paths to keep me forever spinning. My favorite bike tools are an open mind, creative engagement, curiosity, compassion, common ground, and the search for knowledge.
